The Mizuno USA class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on February 13, 2026 and covers all individuals who received a mailed notice from Mizuno stating that their private information was potentially compromised in the data breach discovered in November 2024.

Court documents estimate that the settlement class consists of approximately 1,200 individuals.

The court-approved website for the Mizuno USA data breach settlement can be found at MizunoSettlement.com.

According to the website, Mizuno settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form have multiple options for reimbursement.

Class members who submit a claim form with documented proof of ordinary losses stemming from the breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $475. The settlement agreement states that class members must submit third-party documentation, like receipts or invoices, to receive compensation for losses incurred between August 21, 2024 and March 23, 2026 related to identity theft or fraud.

According to the agreement, reimbursable expenses include bank fees, fees for obtaining credit reports, credit monitoring, identity theft insurance, phone charges and miscellaneous expenses such as postage.

The agreement adds that as part of the ordinary-loss settlement benefit, class members may also receive compensation for up to four hours of lost time spent responding to the breach, at a rate of $15 per hour, subject to the aggregate $475 ordinary-loss payment cap. Claims for lost time must be accompanied by a written attestation by the class members, the agreement states.

Moreover, Mizuno settlement class members who submit with their claim form documented proof of extraordinary losses stemming from the breach are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of up to $5,000 in reimbursement. The agreement explains that extraordinary losses include those related to fraud, identity theft, professional fees, bank fees, overdraft fees and any other charges resulting from the misuse of a class member’s personal information.

The settlement agreement states that class members seeking reimbursement for extraordinary expenses must include third-party documentation that shows their losses were actual and unreimbursed, incurred between August 21, 2024 and March 23, 2026, and are not eligible for reimbursement under any other settlement benefit.

Before receiving any ordinary or extraordinary loss payments, the agreement states that class members must demonstrate that they have exhausted all available credit monitoring or fraud reimbursement insurance associated with the credit monitoring protections already provided by Mizuno, so that the company does not make duplicate payments to class members.

In lieu of any documented loss claims, settlement class members may file a claim form to receive a one-time alternative $50 cash payment from the deal, with no proof required.

Class members may receive their settlement payouts via check or electronic payment, the agreement adds, and all checks must be cashed within 90 days of issuance before expiration.

In addition to any monetary benefits, all Mizuno settlement class members may also file a claim form to receive two free years of one bureau credit monitoring and fraud protection insurance, per the agreement.

To file a Mizuno data breach claim form online, class members can head to this page and log in using the notice ID from their copy of the settlement notice and their last name. Alternatively, class members may download a PDF of the claim form from the website to print, fill out and return by mail to the address of the settlement administrator on the first page of the document.

All Mizuno settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by June 15, 2026.

Finally, Mizuno has agreed to enact certain system and business practice changes to mitigate the risk of any future data breaches.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Mizuno USA data breach settlement following a hearing on June 4, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals are resolved.

The Mizuno USA class action lawsuit argued that the sporting goods manufacturer and retailer failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity safeguards to protect sensitive information stored on its systems, leading to a data breach sometime between August 21, 2024 and October 29, 2024. Per court documents, private information that may have been compromised in the breach includes names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, driver’s license information and passport numbers.
